Educators and entrepreneurs in every state have created activities and events to celebrate the 4th Annual National Entrepreneurship Week... an opportunity each February to nurture the entrepreneurial spirit. This special week is designed to honor entrepreneurs in every state and let the whole nation know about the entrepreneurship education programs preparing American youth to carry on the heritage of America's past and become self-reliant future entrepreneurs.

Since 2006 when the US Congress passed Resolution 699, advocating entrepreneurship education and an annual week nationally celebrating the value of America's entrepreneurs to the economy, the Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education has served as the host. Each state is headed by a state leadership team coordinator that encourages activities and events in every community focusing on all levels of education and the community as a whole. To nurture the "entrepreneurial spirit" in their states, the team leaders work with the Consortium to access resources, ideas, and publicity opportunities. Check out some of the great activities in local communities that are underway at the National Entrepreneurship Week website.

Check out what these students are learning and see if you can earn an "Entrepreneur Genius" Certificate too.
